Both teams tried to suppress the opponent's defense, but there were no goal opportunities created until the middle of the first half.

Getafe again had the opportunity to break into Getafe's goal in the 25th minute through Mathias Olivera's header. However, Olivera's efforts have not yielded results.

In the 33rd minute, Alejandro Gomez fired hard in front of the Getafe goal. Gomez's attempt was tried by Jules Konde, but failed to produce results.

No goals were scored until the first half was over.

After halftime, Damian Suarez again spread threats to Sevilla. After piercing inside, Suarez released a right-footed shot that was still flying over the bar.

Defender Diego Carlos threw away a golden opportunity for Sevilla in the 75th minute. Juan Iglesias' corner was well headed by Carlos, but goalkeeper David Soria was still alert and denied the goal.

Youssef En-Nesyri found the net for Soria in the 82nd minute. However, the goal was disallowed by VAR because the player was already in an offside position.

Substitute Erik Lamela was Sevilla's hero after scoring a dramatic 90+3 minute goal after capitalizing on a rebound from Rafa Mir's shot that hit the post.
